Could Vine be about to make a comeback? It's starting to look that way.

In a tweet Wednesday, Vine co-founder Dom Hofmann shared an image of "V2," a graphic that bears Vine's colors and typography. The tweet follows earlier Hofmann postings on the social media platform last week that he was "going to work on a follow-up to vine."

As one would expect, news of a potential new Vine went viral. Hofmann's Wednesday tweet was retweeted over 66,000 times in under three hours and "Vine 2" quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, with users sharing their excitement about the possibility.

Hofmann is the latest Vine co-founder to make waves in recent. Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll, Vine's other creators, are the co-founders of the popular HQ Trivia game. According to a new report from Recode, the viral sensation recently closed a funding round that could value the start-up at $100 million.
